The SPEED NIP speeds up
the process of compressing or "smashing" the swell
in the folded signatures of sewn book blocks or the glue buildup
in adhesive bound book blocks to yield a flat and square binding
edge. The flattened book blocks make it possible to trim larger
piles with greater accuracy and improve rounding and backing,
thereby reducing production costs as well as improving the
quality of the product. Processes intermixed sizes, thickness
and types of paper with no make-ready or set-up.
